Network Ten/Endemol

Network Ten and Big Brother producers, Endemol Southern Star,
today reaffirmed their commitment to the highly popular television
program and confirmed Big Brother adheres to all
broadcasting codes of practice and all relevant rules and
regulations.

No footage of the incident that led to housemates Ashley and
John being evicted was broadcast on television, nor would it
be.

This is a closed police matter.

TEN and ESS proactively invited the Queensland Police to view
the footage, and they subsequently interviewed housemate Camilla,
who reiterated she did not wish to take the matter forward.

While the footage was never broadcast, and will not be, TEN and
ESS will fully cooperate with any Australian Communications and
Media Authority (ACMA) investigation, and we are confident that we
have upheld the Television Industry Code of Practice and any other
broadcasting law or regulation.

Ashley and John were evicted because they broke the rules of
housemate conduct. Big Brother is very popular, as evidenced by the
strong and broad audiences it draws every night of the week, and
will remain on air.
